Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container, which comprises a venting means.
  • the content of the container may, for example, be chemically unstable or may be subject to reaction with gases which may exist in the head space of the container, or alternatively, in certain specific circumstances, may react with the container material itself. Any chemical reactions involving the liquid contents may lead to either production of gases, and hence to over ⁇ pressure in the container, or to the absorption of any head space gases thereby causing under-pressure in the container.
  • Pressure differences between the pressure inside the container and the ambient atmospheric pressure may also occur when the temperature during the filling and sealing of the container is significantly different from external temperature during shipment, transportation and storage. Another possibility of a pressure difference may be caused by a different ambient pressure at the filling of the container from another ambient pressure at a different geographical location.
  • the prior art has proposed several solutions using valve systems which avoid pressure differences between the interior and the exterior of the container. Proposed solutions also relate to various venting caps which allow pressure generated inside the container to be released by escape of gas.
  • FR-A-2 259 026, US-4 136 796 and DE-A- 2 509 258 disclose self-venting closures comprising a gas-permeable membrane covering an orifice to the exterior.
  • the membranes are made of a material which is impermeable to liquids, but permeable to gases. Therefore, containers may comprise apertures to release gas to the exterior without losing their leak-tightness.
  • EP-A- 593 840 discloses containers for containing liquids which generate pressure, the container being made of a thermoplastic material comprising a network of micro-channels. This network of micro- channels is permeable to gases, but not to liquids.
  • the membranes may lose at least part of their gas-permeability. Specifically, liquid products comprising particulate solids such as carbonate and/or percarbonate and/or perborate suspended in the liquid product may not completely drain away from the membrane back into the container. Instead it has been found that the pores of the membrane are clogged by these particulate solids sedimented out of the liquid. In this manner, it may happen that the container loses venting capacity. This loss of venting capacity results in a pressure difference between the exterior and the inside of the container which may deform the container.

This loss of venting capacity results in a pressure difference between the exterior and the inside of the container which may deform the container.
  • the contact between the product and the membrane may be caused by splashes of the product onto the membrane as the filled container is agitated during shipment and transportation of the container. It has been found that the amount of splashes normally occurring during shipment and transportation are sufficient to completely interrupt the venting capacity of the container. Another means by which product may contact with the membrane is during an upside down storage of the container. It has been further found that other venting systems, like valves for example, may also suffer from a similar disadvantage. As mentioned before, an important parameter which influences the venting capacity of the membrane is that the product which has contacted the membrane may sediment out some particulate solids suspended in the product.
